SMALLVILLE “Patriot” Review

SMALLVILLE “Patriot” Review

Oliver
decides to go in undercover to the Vigilante Registration Act, or, as Lois puts
it, “a steaming pile of Spanish Inquisition.” It was quite a political episode
with Captain Saul, sorry, I mean, Colonol Slade comparing superheroes to Hitler
and Hussein, the government locking up superheroes under the pretense of
defense, not to mention future-Aquaman, Arthur Curry, and his wife’s
destruction of a holding facilities for superheroes. Smallville is treading
plenty of allegorical waters.

Aquaman’s
wife Mira is impressively busty, a lucky distraction from her acting. She
splits from Aquaman and Clark, who search for Oliver, who has been taken off
the grid.

Oliver
offers to be the poster body for the VRA, but he refuses to bring other
superheroes into the mix. Unsurprisingly, Slade goes to some nasty lengths to
entice him to do just that. Can I just say how delighted I am to see Michael
Hogan back on my screen? He was generally slimy but good in Battlestar
Galactica, and here he’s gone to just good old slimy evil as he tries to break
down Aquaman and Oliver.
